A Champion Speaks: My Son's Journey to 10 Years and Thriving Beyond the Label
This book presents an account of a mother who refers to her son as “A champion”. The book's first part details my son’s journey of learning to speak and attaining key milestones until his tenth birthday. The book concludes with detailed accounts of my experiences with my son at home developing key skills. The skills covered in the book include reading, writing, potty training, riding a bicycle and self-care activities. Every child has the potential to thrive with the right support from their parents and carers. My motivation for sharing my experiences, which include our successes, mistakes, and lessons learnt, is to inspire others. See https://achampionspeaks.com/ for more details.
